but i'd like to quote from that same study that same survey a recent survey found that only 22% of federal employees believe that performance and pay are linked. and i would like to point out that this bill certainly would cover that. we are not saying do away with all bonuses, quite the contrary, we believe that people need to be incentivized. we believe in merit pay. we believe in bonuses for those that work. i can say this, when you start paying out bonuses to 75% of all senior executive employees, the people back home don't understand. maybe the people in massachusetts understand, but i can tell you the people in north carolina don't understand. we've got some 7,000 senior executive service employees that make an average of $168,500 every year. so when you go back home and say, they're making $168,000 a year and on top of that, we're going to pay them a $30,000 people don't understand, whether they work for the federal government or whether they are in the private sector, they don't understand. i've got single moms, mr. speaker, that said you know what, i'd be glad to go to work just f
